Boston and Cheap Trick

Dates: June 5th to August 31stLikely Highlight: Boston's "More Than A Feeling" just isn't the same without Brad Delp, so we're going to go with Cheap Trick's "Surrender." We miss Bun E.

Devo

Dates: June 18th to July 2ndLikely Highlight: This tour is all about Devo's earliest demos, many of which they haven't played in forty years.

Fall Out Boy and Paramore

Dates: June 19th to August 17thLikely Highlight: "Sugar, We're Going Down." If you're a certain age, that song is your "Stairway To Heaven."

Journey/Steve Miller Band/Tower of Power

Dates: May 15th to August 1stLikely Highlight: We love "Jet Airliner" and "The Joker," but let's not kid ourselves. The place will be packed night after night because of "Don't Stop Believing." It's clear by this point that we're all stuck with that song forever and ever, so we might as well just embrace it.Flashback To: The summer of 1982, when you could turn on the radio and be pretty much guaranteed to hear "Open Arms" or "Abacadabra" within three minutes.

Kiss and Def Leppard

Dates: June 23rd to August 31stLikely Highlight: We love Def Lep's "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages," but it's hard to top Kiss songs like "Black Diamond" and "Detroit Rock City."Flashback To: A time when a rock concert wasn't complete without a drum solo, guitar solo and lots of fire-breathing.

Lady Gaga

Dates: May 4th to August 20thLikely Highlight: "Marry The Night." That thing deserved to be a massive hit. Flashback To: The fall of 2009, when "Bad Romance" was all over the radio and it seemed like Gaga-mania would never die.

The Monkees

Dates: May 22nd to June 7thLikely Highlight: The suite of songs from Head is pretty awesome, but watching Michael Nesmith sing "Listen To The Band" after all these years is sweet paradise for Monkees fans.

Morrissey

Dates: May 7th to June 21stLikely Highlight: That feeling of euphoria everyone feels when the band launches into "How Soon Is Now?"Flashback To: The time you realized the world is full of crashing bores.

Mötley Crüe and Alice Cooper

Outkast

Dates: April 11th to September 5thLikely Highlight:Outkast have a ton of amazing tracks, but "B.O.B" is guaranteed to kill every single night.Flashback To: The final years of the Clinton administration and the early days of W's tenure, when bombs were literally falling all over Baghdad.

Queen + Adam Lambert

Dates: June 19th to July 28thLikely Highlight: Lambert can sing his ass off, so this thing will be great from start to finish. It's especially mind-blowing when Glambert rips into the last section of "Bohemian Rhapsody."Flashback To: The last watchable season of American Idol.

Romeo Santos

Dates: May 21st to July 12thLikely Highlight: His stunning two-night stand at Yankee Stadium. It's proof you can sell insane amounts of concerts tickets with virtually no mainstream press. Flashback To: The amazing reign of the New York-based bachata group Aventura. Santos was their lead singer.

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Dates: Now to May 18thLikely Highlight: In the past year, Springsteen has played classic albums straight though without any notice. Keep your fingers crossed for another The Rivershow.

Rod Stewart and Santana

Dates: May 23rd to August 20thLikely Highlight:Rod tends to close out the night with "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" If that's not your bag, Carlos Santana is guaranteed to play all the hits. Flashback To: FM radio in 1973.

Styx/Foreigner/Don Felder

Dates: May 14th to July 27thLikely Highlight: No original lead singers are anywhere near this tour, so it's a three-way tie between the guitar solo in "Hotel California," the last two minutes of "Come Sail Away" and every moment of "I Want To Know What Love Is." Flashback To: Cruising around the suburbs with your friends in 1980.

James Taylor

Dates: May 30th to August 9thLikely Highlight: It's hard to calculate how many times Taylor has played "Sweet Baby James" and "Fire and Rain," but everyone still loves hearing them and he manages to make them fresh. Flashback To: Super mellow times in 1971.

Under the Sun with Sugar Ray, Blues Traveler, Smash Mouth and Uncle Kracker

ZZ Top and Jeff Beck

Dates: August 8th to September 12thLikely Highlight: A toss up between Jeff Beck's instrumental rendition of "A Day In The Life" and ZZ Top's "La Grange." They're also promising to top off each show with a guitar duel, which should be pretty sweet. Flashback To: Air guitar heaven.
